Burning Bush A Vibrant Addition to Your Landscape

The Burning Bush shrub is a popular option among gardeners across most of the U.S. because of its easy-to-grow nature and stunning Fall color. Although the shrub is an invasive species in the U.S. and has roots in Asia, it grows in almost every region. The shrubs give property owners a deep Fall color that can add drama to any exterior space.

One of the Burning Bush's benefits is its ability to grow in most of the U.S. The hardy planting zones that support the shrub's growth are four to eight, with only the nation's hottest areas out of reach. The shrub will grow well in almost every area except the southern reaches of the Southwest, the Deep South, and Southern Florida.

The stunning Fall color of the shrub's leaves is the main attraction, but the plant's ease of growth makes it a good option. The shrubs are drought-tolerant in most areas and pest-resistant, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a low-maintenance option. 

How to Care for Your Burning Bush Tips for Healthy Growth

It is important to choose the correct location for the shrub when planting. The shrub grows best in full sun conditions, meaning its location receives around six hours of unbroken sunlight each day. If a full sun location is unavailable, the shrub will grow in particle sun with a less vibrant Fall show. 

Once planted, the shrub is drought tolerant, but it requires watering during its first few months of life. After becoming established, watering can be reduced to around one inch per week.

The Best Locations for Planting a Stunning Burning Bush

The Burning Bush shrub's display is one of the reasons it has become so popular across the U.S. The display begins in May to June with the arrival of tiny flowers that become red berries a few weeks later. When these red berries fall from the shrub, they can take root, and new plants appear. The switch to crimson leaves begins in the Fall and adds a stunning burst of color to any exterior space.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
